  1. To me the story was Berrios. He is our #1 guy and he came out and pitched scared. I thought Gibson was out there for a while. For us to win the series we need Berrios to be a commanding presence and he was not last night
  2. No. It’s kind of a ridiculous notion to be honest.
  3. You Tube TV is a great value for $50 a month. It includes every sports channel I want including the Big 10 network and Tennis Channel which are usually add ons. It took me 5 minutes to sign up and can even watch it at my cabin by streaming to my phone using my unlimited data and connecting the phone into the HDMI port on the TV
  4. All the quirkiness of baseball is true. Especially if Phil Cuzzi has the left field line
  5. I love that he is not afraid. He attacks the zone and puts pressure on the hitter. Gibson and Perez should take notice
  6. More sloppy baseball which seems to be frequent. I really hope Rocco is addressing this behind the scenes. This about the tenth time this year that we got thrown out because “of a perfect throw”. There is no excuse for Rosario on that play. You stop at second-going to third gains you practically nothing. Plus Sano was on deck
  7. I agree with this. If you also consider that just warming up represents a considerable amount of the pitches thrown it makes even more sense to get more mileage out of them once they are warmed up. Meanwhile the other reliever that would have used doesn’t do a thing that day
  8. I would only sign Gibby if he is willing to take #5 starter money
  9. Definitely hard to choose which is a great sign. I would Rogers, Garver then Kepler. Rogers came through in the first half when our bullpen was atrocious and bought time to get it fixed
  10. Interesting that Rocco pulled Smeltzer when things were going well and stuck with Thorpe when he really struggled. This club is never out of it and seem to know it
  11. I like Big Mike because he pounds the zone. No more pitchers afraid on the mound. My concern with Big Mike is health: I think his body is going to completely fall apart in the near future
  12. As TK always said - momentum is the next games starting pitcher. Let’s go Odo.
  13. Read my post. I didn’t blame them for any part of this season. I merely pointed out that they inherited a good young team. They have done good work with Sano but I believe the reason for improvement in the core is that they are approaching their prime with some experience under their belt
  14. Falvine inherited this entire lineup except Cron and Cruz. They also inherited Berrios, Rogers, Duffy and May (and Pressly) and Gibson if that is a positive. They have done some good things but have screwed up plenty. Let’s be careful about associating every part of this season as a credit to them
  15. Does anybody find it pertinent that of the hundreds of guys busted for PEDs they all had a story claiming to not have known? I think Andy Petite May have fessed up but that is it. To consider what they are saying as an excuse is silly
  16. Wise people judge others by what they do, not by what they say.
  17. Like all the other guys that are busted, he’s lying. Isn’t it amazing that all the guys that are suspended have some unfortunate story about how it happened. He was cheating and got caught. Don’t buy the story of him or any other cheater
  18. Cron has missed a couple of plays in the last few days that have cost us. More sloppy baseball by the Twins and it’s been like this for two months. I guess it is not changing
  19. One thing about the game was another sub par fielding day. Odo got in trouble after Cron missed the foul pop followed by Areaz not getting a glove on two grounders within his reach. I believe Cave had another blinger as well. They have to play better in the field
  20. Two seamers are going to move left to right. 4 seamers are pretty straight so the two seamer gives him a wrinkle
  21. They did just a few years ago when he started to go over his head. Before that he had a minimal windup. Thought it was odd at the time to make it more complicated
  22. Pretty much FO malpractice here. Might be a rabbit to be pulled out of the hat but a disappointing situation for a contending team
